I have posted the free/evaluation version of CueCutMill to my website.
http://mvpcues.com/cuecut.php
The program requires an older version of .NET drivers that most newer computers don't have installed. There is a link to those drivers on that page as well. Thus far, none of the CueBalance users have ever had a problem installing the drivers.
The evaluation version includes all screens and taper construction options, but allows actual GCode generation for straight dowels only. There is a fully fleshed out windows help file included in the installation. Just click on the question marks in the program or go to the Help menu.
The help file contains lots of details and suggestions, so it may be of actual help to give it a quick read through. I hope to release the licensed version for sale in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, any feedback or questions are welcome.
This is the 3 axis version for the CNC router guys. The 2 axis CNC lathe version will be forthcoming soon. I won't make a new thread for that, but I will post an update to this thread when that version is posted to my website. (I hope everyone was OK with this new thread since some may not have been constantly checking the other one.)
When the program is installed, a shortcut will appear on the desktop and a group will be added to the programs list in the start menu. You can choose to install the program to whatever folder you wish. The evaluation version and the licensed version shares the same data (all default settings, compound taper data, and shaft tapers). If anyone uses the free version to design shaft or butt tapers, they won't have to redo that work with the future licensed version. The 3 data files that are created the first time the user saves his settings (File menu) are saved in the same folder the application is installed to.
Thanks for all of the interest in the program.
